JAKARTA - The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) released the Anti-Corruption Perception Index (IPAK) of Indonesia, which rose 0.05 points to 3.93 on a scale of 0 to 5. This increase is starting to approach the target in the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2022-2024, ie level 4.06.

Presidential Chief of Staff Moeldoko assessed that the increase in Indonesia's IPAK could not be separated from the actions of the National Strategy for Corruption Prevention (Stranas PK). Stranas PK has strengthened the corruption prevention system, which is not only useful for fighting corrupt individuals, but also encourages public involvement in corruption prevention.

"The achievements of the Stranas PK action have had an effect on increasing Indonesia's anti-corruption perception index. This further proves that the Stranas PK has had a positive impact that can be felt by the community. In the future it must be stronger because this is the President's legacy," said Moeldoko after receiving the report on the achievements of the 2021 Stranas PK. -2022, at the Bina Graha Building, Jakarta, Tuesday, August 2nd.

Previously, the Implementing Coordinator of Stranas PK Pahala Nainggolan reported that during 2021-2022 the Stranas PK action was focused on three sectors. Namely, Licensing and Commercial Administration, State Finance, as well as Law Enforcement and Bureaucratic Reform.

Pahala Nainggolan, who is also the KPK's Deputy for Prevention, mentioned several achievements of the Stranas PK action. Among them, in the State Finance sector there has been efficiency in expanding the scope of recipients of social assistance and BPJS Health contribution assistance. Namely, each equivalent to Rp 1.78 trillion and Rp 672 billion.

"By matching the NIK to the DTKS (Integrated Data on Social Welfare) with the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Social Affairs, the distribution of social assistance is more targeted, there is no duplicate and fictitious data. So that there will be efficiency of state finances," explained Pahala Nainggolan.

In the sector of law enforcement and bureaucratic reform, Nainggolan added, there have been reforms in ports. With the support of the relevant ministries/agencies, he explained, there have been improvements in 14 ports to strengthen the National Logistic Ecosystem. In addition, the use of INAPORTNET, improvements to the trucing system, single billing, and loading and unloading, have also accelerated port stays at several ports.

“Like in Tanjung Priok and Makassar, from three days to one day. The loading and unloading process has a total capacity of 8-10 TEUs/crane per hour, to 35-40 TEUs/crane per hour, "said Pahala Nainggolan.

On that occasion, Deputy V Presidential Chief of Staff Jaleswari Pramodhawardani emphasized the importance of Stranas PK addressing the strategic issue of election administration and the establishment of the New Autonomous Region (DOB) Papua, in the performance of 2023-2024.

He said that corruption prevention strategies need to embrace political parties because of their central position in the process of forming public policies. Stranas PK, Jaleswari added, can also encourage an increase in political party financial assistance, and improve the governance of political parties by implementing the Integrity System for political parties currently being carried out by the KPK.

“The government has indeed increased the aid from Rp. 100 to Rp. 1000. However, based on the results of a study by the KPK and LIPI, ideally, an increase of IDR 8,500 per vote can be recommended, and it can be carried out in stages in accordance with performance, strengthening integrity, and accountability for internal party governance. This should also be addressed by Stranas PK," he said.

In relation to the new Papua New Guinea, Jaleswari asked Stranas PK to provide assistance as an effort to improve the corruption prevention system. These include digitizing the procurement of goods and services, integrating planning and budgeting, as well as strengthening the inspectorate and APIP for government internal supervision and control.
